Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Legua vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Legua in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
